Adapt a KB 3.6 from the Camaro kit to an L92-headed beast?

200hp?!!!! Holy Chit! How much difference was there between the two setups? Ever run it at the track? Did it spit out 4L60s daily! Very nice

I've actually thought about that. What's involved? Accessory drive from car?? That sounds really cool, but I've heard that guy is a real a-hole to deal with......

OMG!!!! That looks like my next project

How do the blowers compare size wise to each other; i.e. TVS 1900 to KB 2.8???? Also, which one is more efficient? Seems like the Kenne Bells are capable of more power, but I've seen some pretty ugly threads in the past on this subject......It seems like people are split on which one is better

Thanks for the link!!!!

1900 = 1.9 L
2300 = 2.3 L
2.8 = 2.8 L

Whipple does. I looked into big blower and it seems no one has been able to really push them to what they should make, mainly due to belt slip issues.

Anyone run a KB 2.8 or 3.6 on a Silverado SS or similar and run the number? That number being at least mid 11's.....

Do the KB's have a lot of belt slip problems and typically at what boost? Are they similar to Magnachargers?
